I saw what you did. I saw it.

Authority, quite soothing,
as the voice of reasons, giving them
still merits some few questions.

[Jetée]

et, tu, too?

I'm alone in my dedication, it would seem (maybe not, but I sorely dislike your inadadvertent bumps, for I take them advertently.)
All I want is a little bit of sunshine.

The sun's shining here
on this side of the planet-
whose side are you on?

I'm dedicated,
maybe in a diff'rent way:
You can't deny that.

2+2 into 24=6

1. No sunsations here.
2. difference is deference, but goes all around, eventually settling into surveying.
3. I can't believe that. (oh, extraction. Still, divisional properties have a certain manner in which to express itself... a strict way.)

I originally wanted to share this in the 'retro-futuristic' topic, (take 2) but there's only us fogeys in there.
Let them, come to us. And witness what we have to share: an aim, and some fortune.

Frog od's fucking sake
& the beauty of women
I keep coming back.


...but foregoing any more praise.

[Jetée]

Did you really mean frog, or was that just by stutter's chance?

Let's see what we come up with when we search for 'frog'...

[Ourcrazymodern?]

My younger sister-in-law once gave me a t-shirt that said "Frog od's sake, buy me a firkin pint" after a trip to England, & the phrase has stuck with me.

I think I posted one before... but, I did just save this image a month ago... let me find it:

Monkey Frog, by jwkeith

author's comments:
Giant Waxy Monkey Frog, Phyllamedusa bicolor. My focus on this visit was shooting through glass. Amazon & Beyond, Miami Metrozoo


(tell me, if you would, and you did click the image itself, what does the title of the photostream say?)

[MexicanOnABike]

its not real!

[BadNick]

frogs are cute ...as long as it's not one of those poisonous ones taking over Australia

most importantly, they taste good

[dlish]

they're called toads..not frogs.. the other name is queenslanders

[BadNick]

but did you ever kiss one yet? ...I heard "beautiful princess"

Thanks for the updates... I have 4,000+ "favorites" elsewhere (pfm) and I'm now developing close to that many (3,400+) on my rolling endeavor. Oh, and I have nearly 200 (maybe 3?) on dA... and that's not even to mention photodom, photo.net, fotocommunity, photoforum, zenfolio, picasa, 2photo, etoday, or the wunderground (I really need to visit that last one more)... there may be even one caled 35foto, I don't know...

It's a real wonder that I've been with flickr the longest, yet it's still relatively small (I'm just a kipper in the ocean).

[ring]

I sent a PM to the creator of this thread.

I love Kipper Snacks. King Oscar brand, if I remember correctly.

[Jetée]

I think this thread alone convinced me within the first week that maybe the TFP was the place to be. I still try to hold onto that hope, but if it's only a dozen of us, it makes one feel lonely.

On the bright side, it makes us more tight-knit, 'sposin'?

[ring]

It reminds me of 'Special School.'

In a very good eclectic eccentric accepting...fashion.

TLTE, should be published.

Postcrypt:

I have been searching for those 'Party Silhouette' images you originally posted at 8,200.
No luck.

I remember them clearly. Orange and Black & other colours. The fabric looked like Batik.

So, this for now:

[Jetée]

It wasn't at or around post 8,200 ... but I don't know. I'm guessing it either had to do with a significant number (e.g. 10,000) or beecause we overtook a thread (What are you listening to right now?)

In my opinion, of the 5 dozen threads I now inhabitate daily, two of them are the hardest for me to rev up my engine to, just because they involve those "creative intangibles"..

#1. Snapshot a Song - I don't know too many songs, and with my busy life, I just have time to listen to podcasts, and maybe an hour of TV every few days... also, I don't know where else to locate "quality" images other than flickr... or to spend half of the week searching on some Russian site for something I'm not sure that I'm looking for. It's a hard business thinking of a lyric, making it stick in your mind, imagining a world behind it, and then trying to either locate it on the web, or re-create it yourself.
Patience (keyword).

#2. A topic I have yet to create, but have many (unwritten) rules to abide by and, it's all too crazy, and modern (that sounds eerily familiar). Anyway, tentative title to it is "Modern Life is Rubbish", and it may be the single hardest endeavor I've sought to think up.

... alright, I might have three topics. The "Cartoons" thread is pretty hard to maintain as well, if only because I keep getting tripped up over what I can and can't embed, and then every few weeks, some of my shares just disappear in the blink of an eye. (Where the hell am I going to find another Fantasia?)... it's all too hard trying to appease myself.

'Cause you know that is all that I'm doing. No one (but a tiny handful) make a stray comment as to what I'm contributing towards is something worthwhile, so I easily forget about it. I don't want that to be the case. I'm working towards a greater identity of archival goodness, a repository, a treasure trove, of illustrious offerings.

I need to get to wandering about...

[Jetée]

and something that readily pertains, but I accidentally came across while trying to locate those disappearing silhouettes; this:
(/ my coincidence monster is on the good vibes for now)

I'm not an egocentric mind, but it's incredible how much of our own posts we immediately forget we contributed. I might take next week to be silent, and look over my 8,000+ posts wherever they all are buried.

responding: I've come to like the word 'mew', and utilize it as such, when referring to cat speak.
'meow' is so passe.
(I haven't heard a cat meow since before 2004. I have heard one sound like a wailing ghost, every single night... Feed the damn cat!)

[ring]

I remember that image.
I saw it shortly after I joined TFP, on 'All Hallow's Eve.'

Siamese cats can verily meow, with many added syllables.

Up and down the register they caterwaul.

[Jetée]

it's a darn shame that this page will once again be another memory in the annals of our history (don't snicker!)

by the way, I came across and found the page in which 10,000 was achieved, and it had a clue as to where to find the silhouettes... #8,000. Then I backtracked a cool and easy 50 pages, saw the page, inputted the flickr image urls... and, turns out the author set them to private (can't even find out who she, or he, was)... another shame.

This is your wayback ticket.

Yeah, that was in the midst of a discussion about something or another pertaining to hares, and I joined shortly after Halx's Pt.2 (I was going to link to the thread, but it mysteriously vanished, along with Pt.1... all that's left is this...) and during the Easter season.

I hated blogs then, and I'm starting to hate them again now (there are just too many great ones I've now come across and fear will never see again; not enough time to peruse, I'm afraid).

[ring]

All this info overload.

Dialing down to a smaller perimeter of effective change & awareness,
is a refreshing cooling waterfall.

I just put an ice-cube down your back.

Now you are in the moment.

[Jetée]

'In the moment'... I was supposed to be here only until 1, and now it is nearly 3.

TFP: you envelop me. Won't you at least nod for me, please?

It sucks being a ghost with aspirations to fame.

The Rivers of Babylon - The Melodians
Johnny Too Bad - The Slickers
Pressure Drop - The Maytals

You have gone and forced me to recognize one of peeves (not a 'peeve', but a "preferred method of perfectionism in which I've instilled")
When citing an artist and their particular song, the "preferred" method of doing so is thus(ly?):

* Aceyalone - I Think I Know Too Much (italicized song track not needed, but basic formula is identification of the 'artist - song title', then the track)

However, there is another method to my madness that I prefer using when citing a particular classical piece, which is:

* Die Fledermaus, by Johann Strauss II (with the more recognized musical piece drawing fore, than the composer attribution following)


basically, I mean to state: I would have just written the artist's before their tracks, with a dash in-between, or eliminate the dash, and replace it with a , by.

This is by no means a 'call to arms', but just something I've noticed a small minority of people do, and I think it weird (if not entirely wrong).
Don't feel bad, though; my Realplayer (now endorsed and distributed by Google!) has the same little glitch in displaying 'artist -song'... it does it your way, backwardly.

[ring]

Does the desire for fame stem from our desire for immortality?

I know I'm not the first to ponder such musings,
nor the last.

Sadly, I don't spend near enough time here on the TFP since kid action happened, but it's incredible to see how long this thread is and to finally acheive the goal, eh?

22277 posts. Wow.

Now we just have to keep on dominating

[BadNick]

maybe if anybody can do it Jet can. Jet, is there a way to embed a flash animation into a post here? This is the Blue Ball Machine that I tried but can't figure out how: YTMND - Blue Ball Machine (Classic GIF Returned) It reminds me of all of us doing our own little part and busy busy busy somehow the goal is accomplished. Sort of like ants.

[Jetée]

I used to use the above (in segments) as my avatar (elsewhere)...

I'll show you how.

(this is but a .JPG, tho.. fun starts next page)
